I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.

Had a visit from a sharpie today. Lil friend was no more than 40 feet from me and my kiddo. Sharpie was interested in the chickadee party in my neighbor's yard. While the view is terrible, I saw the hood of the sharp-shinned and was surprised at how small it was. Good #bird day!

Who will be harmed by President Trump’s lawless and unconstitutional OMB directive?
Kids enrolled in Head Start.
Senior citizens who rely on Meals on Wheels.
And countless American families.

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause:
"the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.
After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"
Columbia hits back at Trump by moving to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products
The U.S. is Colombia's largest trade and investment partner, per the State Department.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.
Big mistake. Huge.

The Democratic Party needs to get out of this woman's way.
AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
